Friction is the interaction of (relatively) opposed matter and orbital electron energy caused to displace or vibrate thereby transferring sound (or noise) energy through the matter structure due to kinetic energy being displaced in interacting atomic structures. When friction is aplied, the energy between the object increases. It can create thermal energy(heat). Depending on the objects with friction applied, the types of energy created can differ.

Does Friction make energy vanish?

sort of but it really only slows energy down


Can friction make an object get hotter?

Yes, friction can make an object get hotter by converting mechanical energy into thermal energy. When two surfaces rub against each other, the friction between them generates heat due to the resistance to motion.


Is low friction not useful when trying to make a fire?

You want high friction so that the energy lost to friction is converted to heat energy. The greater the friction, the greater the amount of energy coverted to heat (or sparks). So low friction means you will have to rub your two pieces of wood (or whatever you're using) together for much longer. Good luck!


What do you call the form of energy generated by friction?

The form of energy generated by friction is called mechanical energy. Friction between surfaces can convert mechanical energy into heat energy.


Is energy transfer the same as friction?

No, energy transfer is not the same as friction.


What is a sentence you can use for the word Friction?

Friction Is the Force that makes it harder for two things to move against one another. 1) When I rub my hands I make friction. 2) When friction is used , energy is produced.


What type of energy is created by friction?

Friction produces thermal energy, also known as heat energy. This is because as objects rub against each other, the kinetic energy of their movement is converted into heat energy due to the resistance of friction between the surfaces.


Friction causes kinetic energy to be coverted into?

Friction causes kinetic energy to be converted into heat energy.


How is temperature related to the average kinetic energy of a molecules that make up a substance?

because kinetic energy creates friction which will make the tempeture rise


Friction causes mechanical energy to be transformed into what?

Friction causes mechanical energy to be transformed into heat energy.


How is friction good and bad?

Friction is good because it provides traction. Friction is necessary for people to stand, or for vehicles to accelerate or break. Friction can also be used to convert kinetic energy to heat or electrical energy. Friction can be bad because kinetic energy is can be lost to friction.
